Description:
'Swear by my sword.' The battlements. Hamlet at right, his head turned away from
the other figures, holds out his sword. Marcellus and Horatio to the left hold
out their hands and place them on the point of Hamlet's sword where the hilt meets
the blade (the cross). In the foreground the transparent figure of the Ghost seems
to be disappearing into the ground.
